Are these bags biodegradable?

They are biodegradable but state "they are not designed to be disposed with food wastes for composting purposes"

These bags are not biodegradable. They are made of 95% plastic; the cornstarch just helps the plastic break into pieces but they will still exist in the environment for hundreds of years.

It doesn't look like the bag itself biodegrades to me. I bought these before. The company website only states the twist tie biodegrades, not the bag itself. Marketing...

It does not say "biodegradable' - could be an oversight as 100% of ingredients are natural. The bananaboat website may help and they have an 800 # I think 1800safesun - look to web for that.

After reading article last year, I don't believe these are biodegradable, just flushable (like it says).

well, I think yes, the bags are washable, they are very resistant and the material is very good .

The bags are reusable and do not need to be replaced. They are machine washable and very durable.

I am not sure what you mean by biodegradable? They break down when I put them in my compost pile, so I would consider them so......

Probably not. Most biodegradable balloons I've seen are made from latex, but I've done some research and it looks like "biodegradable" balloons still take a long time to decompose and can still damage the environment if not picked up. I would recommend finding some standard mylar balloons and just picking them up when you're done. That way you'll get your latex free solution and still have a better impact on the environment than those just leaving latex balloons around.

Hi, The sides of the package don't display information about the biodegradability, just that they are 'extra long, extra strong, and lavender scented'. If you go to the manufacturer's website, however, you can find out that the core of each roll is made from recycled materials (as is the packaging) and the bag is a corn-based, all natural, compostable product. See more at http://www.earthrated.com/about/. Thanks.

I don't believe they are biodegradable. And yes you can just plant it in the ground.

No mention of that in description. Am not sure. Cannot answer. U should probably contact manufacturer. They do not say they are biodegradable in any of the descriptions.

I love these bags and the package does say they are "designed to decompose in a short period of time" into a material that can be "bio-assimilated." I think that is the best you can get for plastic bags...I have found them to be pretty sturdy and a good deal. I do need plastic bags in two small trash bins in the bathrooms, and I feel better about using these than any other option I have found.

No they are not. You zip them up and dispose of them. They are a durable plastic.

As far as I know, plastic that will break down into tiny little pieces is still plastic and that is not truly biodegradeable. Cornstarch I think is biodegradeable but I am having difficulty finding cornstarch bags since the ones I used to buy were recalled.

Yes, these are the only poop bags I have found that are truly labeled biodegradable. They are a nice size and hold together fairly well (long enough to tie them up, carry them, and throw them out).

I don't think so. I found them all summer while mowing the lawn. If they are then the breakdown time is long. Good question, never thought to ask it myself but a biodegradable should be made for these pellets.
